Sunday Coffee – Summer of Nightmares
Good morning from my new back yard in San Antonio! Well, my backyard last Sunday, when I planned to write this post, and when it wasn’t hurricane-weather outside, heheh. Only then I got interrupted partway through the post, and…well, you … Continue reading
Sunday Coffee – Break
Over the last couple months, especially this last month, I’ve had less time to spend on blog-stuff, and less motivation to go along with it. This has only increased as we’ve started remodeling our basement. With the boys getting out … Continue reading
Wellness Wednesday #54: Mini-Retreat
So you may have noticed that the blog went dark for the last week. There were two reasons for this – one good, one bad. To get the bad one out of the way first, we had a tornado last … Continue reading
Sunday Coffee – Let the Remodel Begin
When we bought this house last fall, it was billed as having a “partially-finished” basement. This is probably accurate, though unclear. “Partially-finished” seems to indicate that some sections aren’t really all that usable, and that wasn’t the case here. The … Continue reading
Sanctuary
About eighteen months ago, I began to KonMari my house based on the principles in The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up. The experience took several months, and I learned a lot about myself during that time. I figured I was … Continue reading
Sunday Coffee – Settling In
It’s now been three weeks since we moved into our new house. We closed on our Texas house earlier this week (yay!) and soon we’ll close on this one. In the meantime, pretty much everything is unpacked, and we’re getting the house together how … Continue reading
Sunday Coffee – BrainMelt
Back in 2012, there was a time when I didn’t have a blog and was only putting book reviews up on Goodreads. Most of the time, those “reviews” were just a sentence or two about my feelings for a book. … Continue reading
Wellness Wednesday #31: The World is Spinning All Too Quickly
I am wrecked. The last few months have taken their toll. In the last five months, my (close extended) family has had over $25k of house repairs, a sudden cross-country move, multiple trips across the country, a wedding, an engagement, … Continue reading
Sunday Coffee – August Miscellanous
Because I was pretty much absent this past month, I thought I’d use my first Sunday Coffee in awhile to bullet up a miscellaneous post of books and life. Here’s how my month went: Moving: This consumed most of the … Continue reading
Sunday Coffee – Changes
So remember last week, when I said we’d decided to move across the country? We had a plan worked out. The boys would go up at the end of this month, and Jason and I would follow in October once … Continue reading
